I found this book to be informative. I learned a lot about the singer. I found it amazing how she turned music around with her voice, and how influential she was, and still is today. The book covered a lot of her life. I think the author did a good job of describing Mrs. Cline, and relating to the reader how she was, and how she acted. It left a good impression of the way the singer really was. Why not 5 stars then?...The author got on my nerves at times. The author was a total Cline fan, and painted a picture like she did no wrong, or was justified for doing it. She cheated on her husband, and used her body to get what she wanted out of life. Interesting as the story was, and influential as she was, she had a lot of faults. The author points them out, but the author is too caught up in the singer to give an unbiased view of her actions...or so I thought. If you are a Patsy Cline fan, then this book is very helpful in learning about her life, and things you may not have known about her. Her rise from poverty to star is quite amazing, and she is quite the singer.

I enjoyed the close-in story about Patsy. It's well told, but the abundance of exclamation points made it sound like an elementary school reader. I also was not interested in the author's opinions.

very informative, I perform Patsy and got a lot of tips about her personality from this book. I had read it at the library first and loved it so much I had to buy it! I really liked the discography list in the back! If you are a fan of Patsy and want to know more about the behind the scenes of the recording sessions of her songs, get this book!
